Prehistoric Whale Figures

[Loon]

After watching too much of the DinoToyBlog YouTube channel, I've decided to collect a group very much in the vein of Dr. Admin; instead of marine reptiles, I'm looking to find prehistoric whales.

Here are a few I know of/own:

CollectA Basilosaurus (2017):


Paleo-Creatures Pakicetus:


PNSO Basilosaurus:

If anyone can point out others, I would very much appreciate it.

Just remembered this Ambulocetus resin kit by Shane Foulkes:

Here are some more I found:

Safari LTD. TOOB Basilosaurus (2010):


Recur Basilosaurus (2018):


"Evolvems" Transforming Plush Pakicetus to Squalodon:

..it's not a problem if a DTF member uses a picture from my collection thread (PNSO Basilosaurus, I mean..)  into a different thread but, at least, credits would be appreciated.. thanks..

There are a couple of other prehistoric whale-adjacent figures, they come from Japanese companies as part of 'mystery' or cryptid series (many of which are based on real animals):

The "Monster of Lake Van" by Medicom (probably the first Basilosaurus model):



'Ogopogo' from the Gakken Mystery series 1 (probable Zygorhiza):


And Yowies made a Mammalodon as part of their Lost Kingdoms series B:



I also recall a very small metal Ambulocetus figure from the Magister Militum prehistoric series (but I never got those):

https://www.magistermilitum.com/era/pre-historic/pdn1-ambulocetus-x2.html I won't post a picture, since they're not mine to post, but they can be seen and purchased at that link.

The good news is, you won't need much shelf space for this kind of dedicated collection. The bad news is, it's because there just isn't much out there.

Yowie also made the "Frome freshwater dolphin," which is supposed to be a rhabdosteid. And Diramix has made two hideous versions of Livyatan as well as an equally hideous Odobenocetops.

Still, apart from the distantly related Andrewsarchus,  no land living ancestors in as more commercial toy figures.  Hm.

Especially considering how important these fossils are to paleontology, and biology as well. There's a reason creationists go nuts about ambulocetus and pakicetus, shame toy companies can't.

From looking at this thread, two things jump out at me. One - most of the whales seem to be Basilosaurus (not surprising though). Two - Most of these Basilosaurus figures look far too skinny for a whale.

The Recur and PNSO ones are the best Basilosaurus though imo.

By the way @Gothmog the Baryonyx except for where we can get the news of 2018 of Recur. On Aliexpress, Amazon or Ebay I think they still do not market these figures.

Okay thanks. Amazon won't ship them to the UK. None of the new batch are on eBay UK. I've never used Aliexpress before but it looks like I might have to try it. Thanks @Shonisaurus

Nothing that can help my fellow man is of little on my part.
